Sonnet: Despair Strikes Again, Again

Despair threatens man again and again; Most men keep working along corrupt lines; The body scorched by sun then longs for rain! The flooded lands wonder when the sun shines? Despair and hope come sometime or other; Anticipate and live but don’t react; Our daily life, they must not much bother; Intolerable if then, you act with tact. When emotions begin to engulf man, Our performance will be much affected; Though polished rice-eaters, we need some bran! We cannot lead a life much dejected. All things don’t last for long, we ought to know; Life is a stress-testing, we undergo.
